Rock on girl.....any man that can't deal with a bit of sarcasm isn't mature enough to handle anything else you dish out! The pond is full of "Dork Fish"....if one swims your way, grab the oar and swat him away! If he refuses to take the hint.......beat him relentlessly with your sarcasm....he deserves it!

Oh, heck. I'm sarcastic all the time, if I can get away with it. It's my favourite brand of humour. If a woman's like that, it gets me all hot and sweaty. Then I have to take a shower and remember to pay my credit card bill.

Yeah you should probably give all of this malarky up. Being sarcastic is in no way funny. Too many people see sarcasm online and say "like, yeah, whatever", followed by making an "L" with their hand and putting it on their foreheads. That's what the cool people do anyways...so I've heard.

Everyone is different. I would feel it's kind of mean-spirited, and I wouldn't bother with the person. I do read peoples' profiles. If I don't know you well, I wouldn't want your sarcasm, but if I've gotten to know you then I might be pretty okay with it. If you throw sarcasm at someone who doesn't know you, it can often turn them off. You could start with being polite, because sarcasm can sometimes come as being rude to a guy who e-mailed you. If the person's cool and knows you better than the sarcasm is okay. It is a question of knowing you first.

There are certain degrees in sarcasms. You can be really witty and funny and that's not perceived as mean spirited and you can also be sarcastic with a pinch of caustic and then it gets more aggressive.

Example A: bear in mind I'm French and I leave in the USA for 4 years now, when someone asks me where I'm from I always reply from Alameda California (that's where I live) with my awfully fake French accent that only a French guy can do (Kevin Kline is a wuss compared to it). Generally, people reply "no you're not!", that's being sarcastic in a non-meaningful way.

Example B: My ex-girlfriend and I went to my best friends wedding. We spent the day there and at night, she looks at me and see two holes in the sleeve of my suit jacket then she looks at me and says "You're a teacher but you have no class!", now mind you the pun was good, the effect is humiliating...

Where would we be without the Gilda Radners, the Tina Feys, the Margaret Chos, the Cheri OTeri's, the Kathy Najimys, the Wendy Liebmans, the Jane Curtins, the Janeane Garofalos, the Molly Shannons .....

i think the question is this when ya reply, is she being sarcastic or mean spirited, thing is ya dont know with the writen word.verbal is differnt, you can see and hear the sarcasim by looking at the persons body language, over the internet its differnt, no body language to figure out. most people take it to heart and get pissed off, i know from being a mod at another forum

In real life, I'm very sarcastic myself, I think a lot of English people are. However, through experience, I've found sarcasm doesn't really work on the page, email/text message. If they can't hear your intonation, they may not know you're being sarcastic and will misinterpret as rude.

My two cents, leave the sarcasm for face to face. And try and curb it in emails.

Sarcasm, just like anything else is fine when consumed in moderation. Sarcasm has it's place and it's fun when flerting, but when it's used as a tool for cruelty then there could be a point when too much is not appropriate. That is of coarse unless it's being used in self defence...

I love sarcasm! But I will tell you that when you frist talking with someone, it can seem a bit standoffish. I don't want to sound mean, but when you meet someone new play nice. After you get a feel for them, then smack them in the face with it!

I've seen the most wonderful marriages ruined by out-of-control sarcasm.

It becomes a contest, with each spouse looking for any little mistake to shoot down their partner. And while we all make mistakes, but because women generally talk about their relationships with other people, they remember their partner's mistakes much better. It becomes pure hell for the man.

Once you start focusing on each others faults and mistakes, the marriage won't last.

But sarcasm is such an easy and convenient form of humor, and it is so popular. I suggest you learn puns.
